Things Growing

On Mother's Day I spent the day planting a vegetable garden. I really have no clue what I'm doing, but it seems to be going ok so far. We have way too many tomato plants (9 total) so as long as they produce tomatoes, I'm sure there will be plenty to share! We allso have corn, green beans, green peppers and cucumbers. I have a couple strawberry plants that had some green strawberries on them, but apparently Maggs likes strawberries, because she sticks her head under the fence and plucks them off. BRAT! I had no hope for the strawberries!

We are also trying AGAIN to grow some grass in our side yard and a few spots in the back. It seems to be going good too, lets hope that the hot summer heat doesn't scorch the new grass like it usually does. I think with me being home to keep the sprinkler on really helps!

On to more (slightly) interesting things.... Jacob is getting pretty funny these days. This morning he was trying to pull me out of bed saying "Um on, in da car" (Come on, in the car) I asked where we were going and he said "Ma Donnal's!" (McDonalds) Just like his mommy! ha ha!

He got to ride on Gampa's tractor last week and I've been hearing about it ever since. "Ba-bup tactor" He loved it!

He also spend the day with Grandma Mary on Memorial with I loved! I had the whole day to myself while Chris was at work and he got off early and we went golfing together. I did surprisingly ok, I think if I had clubs my own size I would have done a little better, but I was impressed for only my second time out. I think I like it, and I'm looking forward to doing it again....minus the hefty cost involved!

Fun with Friends

Jacob has been having a TON of fun lately playing with all his friends. He got to go to Matt and Kayla's house (who he calls Matt and Makayla) while I was at my doctor's appointment. He had a blast there and cried "Matttttt play" the whole way home. Poor guy!

Saturday was Makayla's 6th birthday party. And Jacob and Daddy went on a go-kart for the fist time. He was a little scared as first, but was LOVING it after the first few turns. He's apparently a good racing video game driver too.....just as long as it's an automatic transmission! ha ha Then later that night we went to Eric and Michele's house and Jacob and Grace (Jacob calls her "Dice") got to hang out and play. She is just the cutest little thing!

Sunday was Chris's first softball game. It was a doubleheader and although they didn't win at all, it was very close both times and they looked really good out there. They have a pretty good team, even if they have a stupid team name....The Dingers! Jacob and Jason didn't spend much time at all watching the game, they were enjoying running up and down the bleachers. Which is turn made it easier for me to sit and watch! Thanks Jason, I hope your Daddy brings you to every game!

All day yesterday Jacob has been going on and on about wanting to play with Matt and Dice, poor kid really needs to get out more. I think we're going to try and plan something with Gerilyn and Alex this week so that should be fun too!

Man, I wish I was 2 and could play with my friends all the time!

Tiny Baby

No luck telling the sex of the baby. :( He/she is measuring smaller and so my due date has been changed to Nov. 17th.

The next ultrasound appointment is set for June 13th, Maybe we can find out then...If baby Miller #2 cooperates that is! :)

Amazing Words

Jacob is blowing our minds lately with his vocabulary. It seems that everyday he says a few new words that I didn't know he knew. He's doing much better with sentences too. We're so proud of our little munchin! A lot of words still start with "B" or "M" that aren't suppose to, but he'll get it eventually.
Just yesterday alone he told me "Mommy, poopoo on my butt" (nice) and when asked where his shirt was, "Daddy took it off".

Counting is still not working for him, he counts things, but everything is 2. He points and says "two, two, two". Very cute though, he gets so proud of himself. He can point out all his colors and basic shapes, but can only say a select few; back (black), boo (blue), dedow (yellow) and dar (star), wear (square), heart.

He's really got one part of his manners down. He says "please" all the time! Which is good, except that he thinks it means that if he says it, he automatically gets what he wants. (ie in the store, "please please, Mommy please please.") But,he never says thank you even though we've been working on that very hard for a long time and he ignores us when we tell him to say sorry after a timeout. (At least he stays in the timeout spot until we say so!)

He's becoming very helpful around the house. He wants to help me with every little project I have. He helps put clothes in the dryer, dishes in the dishwasher, leaves in the lawn bags. He cleans up his toys, and puts his dishes in the sink when asked. I'm sure by the time the new baby comes, he's going to be ready to be the BEST big brother!

This Friday I have another ultrasound appointment to check the size of the baby and possibly change the due date if he/she is on the smaller side, I'll keep you posted. There's a chance that we might be able to find out the sex too since I'll be at 15 weeks. Otherwise we'll have to wait another month. Keep your fingers crossed!

Next week Chris will be out of town for work Tuesday and Wednesday, so if anyone feels like stopping over to keep Jacob and I company, (translation: give mommy a break from little crazy man) let me know, I'll cook you dinner!

Website Re-vamp

Since I'm having such a hard time keeping this thing updates, and since it's really not always about just Jacob anymore, I have decided to re-title the page and it will now include updates about all of us Millers. I will try (roll your eyes...yeah right!) to be more diligent about keeping current from now on.
Thanks everyone for stopping in and checking us out, I hope that you'll enjoy all my random thoughts and stories in the future!
